I've downloaded and tried this Avatar Maker. It's not bad but I guess I'm just so use to doing it the other way that I found it a little unnerving. I don't think badly about the program. I think its great that someone was motivated to try to make the avatar making task easier. Can't condemn someone for using their knowledge to benefit others.
: this is stupid.why do you all think it is bad?you got no reason
: : : Please give your views on Chillies Avatar Maker.
: : : This tool is being marketed as a way of stealing avatars from vp users,
: : : It does this by capturing the avatar in a scalable box. The program can
: : : also be used to capture and create avatars of web site artwork the way we
: : : normally do with psp or photoshop.
: : : Have a look and let me know what u think about it

: : : Should the guild discourage the use of this tool ?
: : : Should the guild accept sites that create avatars using it ?
: : : Is it a good tool for newbies to use to make avatars ?
: : : Is the only thing wrong the marketing angle ?
: : Well....I agree with be_witch. I was once a newbie,
: : and I didn't have an Av Maker!!! I tried it myself,
: : and I don't like it, personally. It takes the thrill
: : out of making (scanning) a picture and turning it
: : into an Avatar. I love the challenge of
: : starting from scratch! :}
: : And I am thoroughly against stealing or capturing
: : Avs from one gallery and posting in another! And
: : with Chilly's Av maker....isn't this the same thing?
: : Stealing from one in use, and posting on a site?
: : Nah! I don't like it. This isn't anything original
: : about this, either. The avs will just go round and
: : round, and there won't be any new ones to pick from.
: : Because Chilly's Av maker sure won't 'acquire' an image
: : from a magazine!!! :{
: : Thanks for listening to me. :}
